12 Crazy Comic Book Movie Rumours That Thankfully Never Happened

9. A Lobo Movie

Lobo is a really cool character and a titular movie based on him has long been touted - but when you actually think about how it could turn out it's probably for the best that it hasn't happened. The likes of Guy Ritchie and Brad Peyton have been linked with directing Lobo - neither of whom particularly appeal. Lobo is a super-strong, super-durable, dark anti-hero with spikes and chains on his person and who rides a motorcycle and, although he isn't supernatural or demonic in any way, shape or form, a movie would definitely run the risk of being too much like Ghost Rider in terms of its feel - and who would possibly want that? A Czarnian who wiped out his entire race as part of a school project, Lobo is a crazy character who also goes by a host of other names; The Main Man, the 'Bo, Master Frag, the Last Czarnian, Mister Machete, Scourge o' the Cosmos and, most famously, the Ultimate Bastich. A movie could end up just being silly.
